I thought ntl said 1% users use 90%, seems a bit off.

Whichever figures are correct, getting just a few % of them taking advantage of the normal sleeping hours for more of their heavy download usage, would improve whatever situation there happened to be at present.
Those 'normal sleeping hours' do not need monitoring, since there would be no disruption to other users pleasure by way of congestion. It is so simple to do, just take those 'normal sleeping hours' outside of the cap, there is no specialist monitoring equipment needed either.
The benefits are obvious, and ntl would even be able to claim that do not have a
blanket 24 hour cap. I would have thought that propaganda incentive, alone, would have enticed ntl into such a change.
I would say that the normal sleeping hours for this purpose would be something like - after midnight and about 7am, give or take, if thought better. Between those hours, monitoring is switched off, or not done.
No one connected to ntl, or come to that, anyone else, has yet given a valid reason why this should not, or could not be done. I still wait for a valid reason.
